Skin Care

With the lazy days of summer right around the corner, now is the perfect time to evaluate and simplify your skin care routine.

Protect – Wear sunscreen EVERY DAY even if your plans don’t take you outdoors. Your sunscreen should protect against UVA, UVB and IR-A. I recommend Total Defense and Repair (TDR) by SkinMedica. TDR features a proprietary trio of potent antioxidants which protects against free radicals, soothes and brightens the skin, and supports the extracellular matrix. This light weight product is available in SPF 34 (plain and tinted) and SPF […]

If you’re looking for the best skin resurfacing options, you should know about the Sciton® Erbium laser. This treatment can uniformly remove the top layers of damaged skin, jumpstarting new, healthy cells to replace the old ones. Unlike CO2 laser treatments which can depigment your skin, the Sciton laser has less downtime and fewer side-effects. This procedure can be a great option to rejuvenate aging skin. Here’s what you should know about this comprehensive treatment.

Great results at precise depths with skin resurfacing

With the temperature getting hotter and the sun getting stronger, now is the perfect time to evaluate your summer skin care routine. Your summer skin care should focus on anti-aging and prevention of sun damage. In addition to daily cleansing with the Clarisonic (using the cleanser of your choice) and daily use of sunscreen, I recommend TNS Essential Serum and Lytera 2.0.

TNS Essential Serum combines two great products in one delivery system; TNS Recovery Complex and APS Corrective Complex, a proprietary formula of strong antioxidants. Antioxidants are especially important in the summer […]

Most of us love the familiar skin care and beauty products we have collected in our bathroom drawers and catch all baskets. It’s fun to look through the samples and try different things! But, have you ever wondered what their shelf life is? Expired serums, lotions, sunscreens and cosmetics can become unstable and irritate the skin. With the calendar getting ready to roll into a new year, now is the time to go through your stash and part ways with things that are outdated or taking up space.

As the largest organ in our body, our skin requires special treatment to keep its youthful glow. Not many of us know that moisturizing and hydrating, although often used interchangeably, are not the same thing. While they both provide our skin with much-needed nourishment, knowing the difference will help you make the best choice for your skin’s specific needs.

Dehydrated skin lacks water and dry skin lacks oil. So, your skin could be dehydrated, dry, or both. Therefore, it is important to choose the right products and know how and when to use […]

A question I am often asked, “In what sequence do I apply my skin care treatments?” Believe it or not, there is a proper order for applying products. Ideally, you should allow 15 minute intervals between steps.

Optimally you will clean your face twice daily with the Clarisonic brush using a cleanser of your choice. We recommend using Glytone Mild Gel Cleanser(glycolic acid) twice a week.
